Default How wide?

Hey guys,

I have decided I'm going to pick up a rcsb to replace my HD for a play truck.

I plan to do a 4/6 drop on it but I also want to put as wide of a tire under the rear as I can. I would like to run 315/35/20 NT05's on it, I have searched a bit and have only seen two trucks that had this size tire, and I was hoping somebody could assure me that this size will fit in the rear of a NBS with a 4/6 drop.



Thanks
Kody

Will depend a lot on your wheel backspacing as well. I don't see where it would be a problem with the right wheel

I don't see it being a problem either, from what I have seen with a 4/6 the fender is still above the tire. Plus I plan to roll/cut the lip down on the rear so I should have some room, But I just want to make sure.


Thanks

Fender being above the tire depends on tire height. With 275/35/20s, I had about 1-1.5" of clearance. Those tires are 28.6 so your gonna be close to tucking. Like said though, get the proper backspacing and you should be fine.

Ok bringing this back. Do you think I would gave a problem with SSS wheels as far as backspacing? I think I could have the rears widened to fit the 315's but would the backspacing allow it?
